Silent Hill 2

In Born from a Wish, Maria starts out the game with a loaded revolver in her inventory. It has a single bullet in it, suggesting she has been contemplating suicide. Judging from the design, it appears to be a Smith and Wesson Model 60 Ladysmith. The gun works much like James Sunderland'shandgun, holding ten bullets in the cylinder and using ammo in boxes of ten. At the end of the scenario, Maria contemplates the act of suicide by raising the revolver's barrel to her head. Soon after, she throws the revolver away in defiance, and continues down through the town in search of James.

It has great stopping power and is fairly powerful, but ammo for it is very scarce and should be used sparingly. Henry can only obtain two guns throughout the course of the game and this is the most powerful firearm at his disposal.

Silent Hill: Origins

The Redeemer.

"A heavy, reliable six shooter. Has "Redeemer" etched on its side. A classic .44 hand cannon, this provides more than enough bang for my buck."

The Redeemer is a revolver found in Room 108 of Riverside Motel. It is capable of firing up to six .44 Magnum cartridges before needing to reload. It is a slow-firing and powerful firearm designed to take down strong monsters. Its ammo is the scarcest of any of the firearms and should be saved for later in the game.

Trivia

Maria is so far the only character in the series to start the game with a gun in her inventory (and a loaded one, at that) who was not dreaming or suffering from delusions. Heather Mason starts Silent Hill 3 with a sizeable arsenal in her inventory (a submachinegun, a handgun and a knife) but gameplay shortly reveals it to be just a dream.

Maria's revolver, despite the obvious influences of existing Smith and Wesson models, is capable of holding up to ten rounds, an unusually high count for a revolver, particularly one in .38. This is most likely an added feature for gameplay purposes.

Eddie Dombrowski has a revolver in Silent Hill 2 that he uses to defend himself and attack James. However, even after he dies, James cannot pick it up.

Some Nurses in Silent Hill 3 carry a revolver which can deal a fair amount of damage to Heather.
